"The Longest Day": The longest foreplay
Trevion 2021-12-22 08:01:08
After the author spent 10 years interviewing and writing, it was adapted into a movie by Hollywood in 1962. For nearly 3 hours, I have to say that the way the incident was explained was meticulous and thoughtful. The foreplay of the Normandy landing alone was enough homework, including all the side details, from the soldiers and the common people to the generals in charge, in nearly two hours, from the perspectives of the Allied and German forces to expand the development of the event in detail. In the end, the process of being called upon by the audience began to come out, and the thrilling landing moment that the audience had been waiting for for a long time began. Decades later, Spielberg directed "Saving Private Ryan", excluding all the minor details, and opened directly with the landing. It can be seen that after decades of evolution, people prefer the direct way of watching movies. NS.
